    I wonder if they have actual numbers to prove it for the four years Trump was in office. Many people were probably suffering from news fatigue, because it was like a goddamn daily/weekly thing of him saying/doing something stupid/controversial for FOUR YEARS STRAIGHT. Literally every single goddamn day I would look at the TV or computer screen like, “What the fuck?” Shitty for the world, but I wonder if it was a Golden Age for news media outlets.

      I definitely took a long break from shit posting because who can compete with the press secretary’s shit posts? Deleted accounts and cursed at clouds. I do not miss those days.
